A Thursday afternoon explosion and subsequent fire at a storage barn in Kent County sent one victim to a Baltimore hospital with second-degree burns, according to officials.

The Maryland Office of the State Fire Marshal said the incident was reported at 1:15 p.m. on Lovely Lane in Chestertown, with the Chestertown Volunteer Fire Company and several mutual aid organizations responding to the scene.

In a Facebook post, the fire company said that when paramedics arrived, they encountered a victim with "serious burn injuries" who, after further evaluation, was taken by Maryland State Police helicopter to the Johns Hopkins Burn Center in Baltimore.

A news release from the fire marshal's office states the victim was treated for second-degree burns, but is now in stable condition and is expected to recover.

The fire took 22 firefighters 72 minutes to control, according to the release, causing $50,000 in estimated damage to the structure and an additional $50,000 in damage to its contents. Its preliminary cause has been deemed accidental.
